If we can put a supercharged caddy motor in a outboard , im thinkin a canted valve small block can be somehow made to fit a vintage stern drive

No one ever made marine exhaust for the 351 Cleveland ? What is different about the back of the block that a flywheel cover is needed .

Just asking because I am not a Ferd man. But I have a 1990 302 Bronco that I have owned for years that I need to do something with someday.

But wasn't the thing to do to those 289-302s to make more power was to put some 351 heads on them.

Best thing these days is ported e7 heads best is GT40 heads ported wouldnt use P heads because of plug angle
Had a 302 in my Donzi.

Not really. Because I was reminded about Pen Yans and now I want one to use on the river!

Ayuh,.... I ain't a Ford guy either, but the Windsor motors are nothin' like the Cleveland motors, 'n don't interchange,....

Thats the beauty of it .
Source a 4sp toploader flywheel mod its flywheel cover if need be , seen plenty of peps fab adapter plates for the 460s , hell they prob make those in china now , now you have some real ohh-ahh appeal when you pop the hatch . But yea the 351 lightening pick up motor would be cool too. And would bolt right up
